- 8 ounces, sliced
- Red onion
- 1/2, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and golden, turning halfway through for even browning.
- While the baguette slices are baking, prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste for enhanced flavor.
- Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Spread a generous layer of the seasoned cream cheese on each slice of toasted baguette.
- Top each crostini with a piece of smoked salmon, a few slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of capers.
- Garnish with freshly chopped dill, adding a touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
Tips
- For a twist, add slices of avocado or cucumber beneath the smoked salmon.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, incorporate a pinch of red pepper flakes into the cream cheese mixture.
- Use a variety of smoked fish such as trout or mackerel for different flavor profiles.
